Different degrees of dedication

I don't understand artists like Dash Snow and Andres Serrano.
Both are clarified as a photographer first and then an artist, more thoroughly described for their use of bodily fluids in their artwork.
Let's consider Dash Snow's series Fuck the Police.




He cut out newspaper headlines about cop corruption, splashed semen on them, and framed them as a collaborative piece.


How did he get famous for this? Or was it simply that his photography was already capturing attention, and as an establishing artist, he was able to create a piece like this?
Do people really crave this type of artwork?
Whatever the answers, Dash Snow proved two things. One: his powerful opinions on the fraudulent law force spawned an intriguing conversational piece. Two: his dedication in creating the series and its recognition was, indeed, noticed.
I suppose those factors, in themselves, have a commanding presence.

Devotion is a necessary tool for every artist. We must be constantly committed to our artwork.
Although I haven't progressed much with my small painting, today I started another one.


Color. Sketches. Rough draft.
The rain begins with one drop.

Here's a different taste of dedication.
